Another rumble pierces the quiet

The start of another raucous riot

Thunderous sounds, lightning flashing

Clouds open up, rain falls, thrashing

Pummeling nature, impeding paradise

Flowers lay fallen, a cruel sacrifice

Through open curtains, I see it unfold

Watching as skies become uncontrolled

Then my eyes grow heavy, to stay awake I must fight

Til I fall asleep, to the sound of the rain, in the night
